Lily,
Only one thing, advantages you two to be together, namely the fact that he was born in 1972 (which had Water element) and you had Wood element, And Wood (roots of trees) need water to grow. Two people born in the year of the Rat could be together, but who is going to take care of your baby. My astrological advice is to find a man born in 1976 (Fire Dragon) and let Mr. Rat find his own best match (Monkey 1980). If after living with him for one year, you will still find, it is a god idea to be together, then: why not? Good luck to both of you.
